Enter the maximum number of cartridge slots that may be added to the library in the Maximum Slots box. The default values in the Maximum Slots box is based on the physical tape library you selected. CAUTION: Changing the defaults can have unpredictable results if your backup application expects a certain number of slots in a specific library type. 9. Enter the maximum number of input/export ports on which the library may be configured to be visible in the Maximum Ports box. 10. Enter the maximum number of tape drives the library may contain in the Maximum Drives box. NOTE: The maximum values entered cannot be changed later.
